Three weeks after re-transfer to LD following 8 weeks of SD ( Figures 4e – h ), the cell walls in the crown structure of the breaking buds appeared to have similar or possibly a slight trend of increased levels of JIM7 HG epitopes as compared to after 8 weeks of SD ( Figures 4h,i ).
The results of variance analysis indicated highly significant differences in the PEL trait among the 66 CSSL lines.
Focused on 12 central Corn Belt states, Kucharik (2006) found an overall trend for a 2-week earlier initiation of maize planting date in 2005 compared to early 1980s.
The productivity of wet meadows within partially regulated lakes showed an increasing trend to around Nov 2006, but the elevated EVI values decreased gradually to the end of the study period.
AHb1 mRNA levels showed an increasing trend with AR, and a significant increase from 0wkAR to 2wkAR by RT-qPCR analysis ( Figure 8C and Supplementary Figure 12 ).
The apparent quantum use efficiency (AQE) of seeds showed an increasing trend from 27 to 69 DASP, followed by a decreasing trend as seed development progressed (Figure 4B ).
In contrast, when the Vrn genes were active (i.e., under the SD-NV conditions), the association with the major QTL 33 located on the linkage group 5A-2 in the same region as the Vrn-A1 locus was highly significant for all tillering traits (from 21 to 33%), except for RATE.
The growth curve varied little after reaching the upper horizontal asymptotes, while the sensor measurements showed a decreasing trend which was mainly due to defoliation.
The relative level of GA 4 exhibited an increasing trend at the transition from endodormancy to ecodormancy and displayed a similar expression pattern of genes related to GA metabolism, PmGA20ox2 , PmGA3ox1, PmGID1b , in both Japanese apricot and transgenic poplar.
It may be too strict to use α = 0.05 for further analysis, so we examined the marginally significant association signals by using α = 1.
Although these results prompt further investigation, we hypothesize there may be significant changes in the metabolites of the mutant strains from those of the wild-type strain.
The analysis of variance for quantitative morphological traits revealed that mean sums of square values were highly significant and hence used for further analysis ( Supplementary Table S2 ).
Grain weight at G3 differed significantly between cultivars from the 3rd to the 6th spikelet, and there was an increasing trend from the 1950s to 2010s.
The expression levels of the TGs in the AH population, except for CHROMATIN-REMODELING PROTEIN 11 ( CHR11 ), SEP1 , and TOPLESS ( TPL ), showed highly significant correlations between the two environments, and the Pearson correlation coefficients ranged from 0.266 to 0.925 (Table 1 ), indicating that the TGs' expression levels were differentially affected by different environments.
The genotypic effects were significant for all traits, and many traits showed highly significant correlations, ranging from 0.83 between grain yield and biomass to -0.67 between seed weight and seed emergence rate.
Some common highly significant correlations among components of the same chemical family were found in all groups of plant materials.
Effect of Osmotic Stress on Levels of Lipid Peroxidation The contents of MDA, H 2 O 2 , OH • and O 2 •- of both varieties presented an increasing trend with increasing exposure to osmotic stress.
The soluble protein and soluble sugar contents of both varieties showed a trend of first increasing and then decreasing with the stress time increasing ( Figures 1A – D ).
Statistical comparisons between the control and treatment groups were conducted using Student's t -test or ANOVA, as well as Tukey's multiple comparisons test; p < 0.05 was considered significant, and p < 0.01 was considered highly significant.
For larger gene sets, the AUSR may be significant even when the underlying co-expression strength is moderate.
Cis - and Trans -Effects for Transcripts in Aneuploids C1 and Cs1 Although MAAL C1 had an extra chromosome C1, it showed an extremely significant bias to down-regulated genes in comparison with RBR.
Whilst irx9 showed a trend toward slight down regulation of xylan synthetic genes, and irx14 showed a general trend for a small increase, we inferred that the plants were likely not exactly developmentally matched.
The main outcome of girdling on the NSC content in coarse roots was a highly significant decrease in starch content irrespective of soil moisture treatment and GD, whereas soluble sugars were nearly always not significantly different from controls in both soil moisture treatments ( Figure 4 ).
For seed GSL content, highly significant QTL were located on chromosomes A09, C03, and C09 with -log 10 - p -values of 9.97 (SL2011), 10.83 (SL2012), and 9.42 (SL2011), respectively ( Figure 6B ).
( 2014 ) detected higher amounts of chlorogenic acid and cynarin than flavonoids in cardoon leaves, while they also observed an increasing trend for phenolic acids with plant development.
